He’s definitely a bit of an asshole, but at the end of the day, from what I’ve seen from him over the years he does have his head on straight on a LOT of issues.

I don't even think he's an asshole, honestly. He just has no filter against stupidity.
He's essentially as close to Carlin as we're likely to see.
This is slightly off-topic, but I really hope someone films this new Broadway version of Glengarry Glen Ross, because Bill Burr and Bob Odenkirk doing Mamet? Holy fuck do I want to see that.
Yeah, I listen to the Smartless podcast and they've brought it up a few times lately, including when KK was on there recently. I have very little interest in theater, but the cast alone makes me want to check it out. The cast alone will also be why I can't afford to go probably.
Seeing stuff like this in the uplifting news community instead of shit like ‘local kid spends 60 hours a week selling lemonade to pay for sister’s cancer treatments’ is why I appreciate Lemmy vs Reddit.
Always fun when Bill Burr makes a talk show host visibly uncomfortable. I'm worried they'll stop having him on altogether. Supporting Luigi might be crossing the line. I dunno how Jimmy Kimmel feels about Luigi Mangione, but I know how the people who sign his paychecks feel.
If they can't get people to hate Luigi, they'll shift to getting people to forget about him.
I don't watch Jimmy Kimmel, is he just a bad interviewer? Cuz he sucked. Even the introduction was bad.
Fucking just make this guy the face of the dnc and we can be done with all this shit already. Just fucking do it already. Pull the strings, pad his pockets, and get going with reconstruction.
I swear to God if someone passes control of the dnc to bill burr we will skip 50 years of regression.
You can hand the keys of the DNC to a baked potato and it would do a better job than current leadership.
I watched that clip on Kimmel. I don't normally watch but I like Bill Burr. Kimmel got really uncomfortable after he said Free Luigi. Not just like the network telling him, but in a way that seemed like Kimmel doesn't understand why people like Luigi.
Kimmel gets it...his advertising people won't be happy about it though.
I think a lot of rich leftists are hoping that shit holds together long enough that they can die comfortable, even if it means poor people have to suffer decades.
"leftists"
Liberals.
Being on your national left doesn't make you a leftist.
Totally agree. An above comment referenced them as such.
